On One Short Run
I've been running every day. Even though my route is essentially the same, I see something different each day. Each step takes me closer to someone else's drama. Today I saw:

  • A broken down city bus, with the driver checking out the engine.
  • A man napping on a park bench with a duck waddling underneath.
  • People making out in the grass.
  • Two Canada geese getting it on mid-swim.
  • The first willow leaves of the year.
  • A girl shrieking "I'm going to fucking kill myself" while two cops tried to calm her down


All that in less than two thousand steps.

Running? Wow, I admire you!

One day, you can possibly write a book about things you've seen while running.

On a completely different note, I think I remember you somewhere mentioned you have ADD. Can you recommend any reading? I have read Driven to Distraction, You mena I' not lazy, stupid or crazy and Women with Attention Deficiency Disorder so far. I am awaiting my test results next Tuesday, in case you were wondering.
